Cooking stuffing
For the filling, we clean the cherries from the stones (you will have to tinker, although I recently saw an interesting stone squeezer in the store - you pour a handful of cherries into a container and just press the handle - it might be worth buying). Although on the Internet you can look for various home tricks for squeezing the bones. For example, pick up a small bottle with a narrow neck, put a cherry on the neck and push the stone into the bottle with a wooden stick, see the video below.
We fill the cherry with sugar and leave it for half an hour so that the cherry releases the juice. We recline the cherry on a sieve so that the juice stacks in a bowl. This sweet juice will be very tasty to pour over ready-made dumplings. Now, if you wish, if you like the filling in the dumplings to be thicker and the juice does not spill out, sprinkle the cherries with starch, mix. The filling is ready.
The filling can also be made from frozen cherries. Some people think that it is better not to defrost it completely, to close it directly with ice cream in a dumpling, so they are juicier. But I prefer to defrost cherries.
An interesting filling option is with cherries. Combine cottage cheese with sugar to taste. Put 1 tbsp on a circle of dough. cottage cheese and 2-3 cherries.How to make cherry dumplings

We put a teaspoon of the filling on each circle, connect the edges of the circle and carefully pinch, you can traditionally use a pigtail, as our grandmothers did, you can press the dough along the edge with your hand, then with a fork, you can use a modern one, using a device for modeling dumplings.
We put water in a large saucepan (dumplings should be spacious), salt it, bring to a boil, and throw dumplings into boiling water as much as you can eat. The boil should be weak. As soon as the dumplings have surfaced, let them simmer for another half a minute, and they are ready.
